Peanut butter and berry protein granola wrap roll-ups bring the unbeatable combo of creamy peanut butter, crunchy granola, sweet bananas, and juicy berries together in a perfectly portable snack. It is my top pick for lunch boxes, busy afternoons, and all those days when you crave a nostalgic PBJ but want something new and nourishing. If you want a treat that everyone grabs from the tray and disappears in minutes, this is it.
I started making these for my kids before soccer practice because they are filling yet refreshing. Now the whole family asks for a batch any time we want a fun and wholesome snack.
Ingredients
- Whole grain tortillas: Gently chewy and sturdy enough to hold all the good stuff. Look for ones high in fiber for extra staying power.
- Natural peanut butter: Creamy and rich, delivers protein and classic flavor. Choose unsweetened for best nutrition.
- Bananas: Perfectly ripe, add natural sweetness and creaminess. Look for yellow with a few brown speckles.
- Berry protein granola: Packs that irresistible crunch and extra protein. Try to pick one with dried berries and whole oats for the best texture.
- Chia or hemp seeds (optional): For a subtle crunch and omega-3s. Select chia that is black or white with no clumps for highest quality.
- Fresh blueberries or raspberries: Juicy bites that bring bursts of color and flavor. Choose firm, plump berries.
- Honey or agave (optional): Drizzle for a hint of sweetness. Use local honey or pure agave for smooth texture.
- Cacao nibs or crushed nuts (optional): Another optional boost for crunch and flavor. Pick cacao nibs with a rich chocolate aroma or lightly toasted nuts.
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Prepare the Tortillas:
- Lay out each tortilla on a clean surface and use a small spatula or the back of a spoon to evenly spread a generous tablespoon of peanut butter all the way to the edges for maximum hold.
- Layer the Filling:
- Set half a banana, cut lengthwise, in the middle of each tortilla, then sprinkle over a handful of berry protein granola so it covers the banana, following with fresh berries and a scattering of chia or hemp seeds, if you like.
- Roll Them Up:
- Starting at the edge closest to you, roll each tortilla up tightly around the banana and filling, using gentle but firm pressure so everything stays tucked inside.
- Slice or Serve Whole:
- For bite-size snacks, use a sharp knife to slice each roll into three or four rounds, or if you need a quick grab-and-go snack, leave them whole and wrap in parchment.
- Finish With Garnish:
- Arrange the roll-ups on a tray or snack board, then drizzle lightly with honey and top with a sprinkle of cacao nibs or nuts, if you want an extra pop.

Banana is my favorite part as it makes the wrap soft inside with the perfect natural sweetness. Every time I make these with my kids we laugh as the peanut butter gets everywhere and the wraps disappear before they even hit the tray.
Storage Tips
Keep these roll-ups in an airtight container in the fridge; they stay soft for about two days. If you are taking them for lunch or travel, wrap each one in wax paper to keep fresh and prevent sticking.
Ingredient Substitutions
Swap out peanut butter for almond butter if you want a richer nutty taste or sunflower butter for a school-safe nut-free version. Gluten-free tortillas and granola turn these into an option for anyone with wheat allergies. Chocolate granola or even a dash of cinnamon will add a new flavor twist.
Serving Suggestions
Set these on a platter for a snack board and watch everyone pick their favorite. They make an easy breakfast with a side of Greek yogurt or try them sliced for lunchbox sushi-style pinwheels.
Cultural Context
This wrap is like a modern PBJ reinvented for today’s busy days and mix-and-match snack moments. It blends American classic flavors with the convenience and nutrition of healthy wraps and granola used in so many contemporary kitchens.
